2008 Taipei 101 Run Up

Finally I write down this story, it has been held one week ago. 2008 Taipei 101 Run Up competition, presented by Taipei 101 and organized by CTTRA (Chinese Taipei Road Running Association). This is an annual international run up competition. This year competition every participant should finish run up on 2046 steps, 390 meters high and 91 floors. Competition categories is divided into three criteria; Professional runner, Self challanges/individual and Group runner.

NTUST participate in this event through their international student. Almost all participant is Indonesian student and one Indian student. We depart at 7 from our school to attend medical check up before competition begin. I got queuing number 253 and my shoulder number is 035 among 1500 participants.

Finally the result shown in official website, this year winner was Thomas Dold from Germany in 11 minutes. I got 22 minutes 48 seconds in 274th rank. This is my first experience in run up competition, frankly speaking… i love it. Next year i should participate again in this competition… and become a champion … wkakakaka (dream mode : on) :p
